I know Sunday the 27th is technically next week, but since I don’t normally get this published until Monday I consider the week to be Monday thru Sunday. This is rarely an issue, but when Nintendo 3DS is coming out this week it has a big impact. So, unless otherwise noted or 3DS involved, everything’s coming out on Tuesday, March 22nd.

As far as momentous releases, none are bigger than the 3DS itself. But a few others are noteworhty even if you aren’t getting the new handheld. First and foremost, LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars should be getting much love. Hardcore gamers should be excited for Crysis 2 while those with a Playstation Move will likely be getting Heroes. Personally, I’ve been enjoying the HD renaissance of classic games from the PS1 and PS2 eras or even earlier, making Tomb Raider a big release in my eyes; especially since I’ve basically missed out on the franchise so far. I’m not sure why, it’s just one of those series I never actually put any effort into playing in the beginning so I never knew where to start later.
